A summary of the need to know information
Housing Services manage room changes or transfer requests for students already living in halls. Transfers are generally only permitted if they are supported by Residential Services or due to other circumstances, such as urgent maintenance.
Key info:
- Fees: If a transfer is approved, a £30 transfer fee typically applies.
- Availability: All changes are subject to room availability.
- Pre-arrival changes: If you have already submitted your application, but you haven't moved in yet, you can usually amend preferences for a short period of time.
How to request a change:
- Consult the Handbook: Review the Resident's Handbook for specific details on the transfer process and criteria.
- Contact Housing Services: Formal requests should be sent via email at housingservices@qmul.ac.uk. They specifically manage room transfer requests and allocations.
- Contact Welfare Support: If your request is due to wellbeing, noise, or housemate issues, you can also contact Residential Welfare for support.
